Our values are our common starting point

Values are not a new phenomenon at the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group. For more than 100 years, our values have created the foundation for the way we relate to our employees, customers and society as a whole.

We believe that our values play an essential role in our success. They are firmly connected to our founders, Mr. A.P. Moller and his son, Mr. Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller.

Our values have never formally been presented or promoted to the whole Group, but in 2002, we began to consider how we could improve the internal understanding of the values. In 2003, Maersk Mc-Kinney assigned this task to our Group CEO who, together with his management team, was asked to make sure the values lived on in the organisation.

To ensure a uniform and thorough understanding of our values and the role they play in the Group, which is under constant development and growth, we began a process in 2004 that we hope will instil the values in our employees.

Our values apply to all employees, regardless of whether they are placed in Beijing, Kazakhstan or Honduras – and they serve as a general guide for our activities, today and tomorrow.
